Circuit Description

The blower motor speed control, battery positive and ground circuits enable the control module to operate. The HVAC control module provides a pulse width modulation signal to the blower motor in order to command the blower motor speed.

Conditions for Running the DTC
    • The ignition is ON.
    • Ignition voltage is between 9-16 volts.
    • The HVAC module is ON.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The blower motor draws more amperage than the HVAC control module is calibrated for.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC
    • The condition for setting the DTC is no longer present.
    • The DTC can be cleared using a scan tool.

Circuit/System Verification

Ignition ON, operate the blower fan speed(s).

Circuit/System Testing
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the blower motor.
  2. Ignition ON, connect test lamp at the battery positive voltage terminal A and ground.
    3. ⇒If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the battery positive voltage circuit for short to ground or an open/high resistance.
  3. Connect test lamp between the battery positive voltage terminal A and the control circuit terminal B. The test lamp should dimly illuminate at high speeds and reduce in intensity as the blower speed is reduced.
    4. ⇒If the test lamp does not illuminate. Test the control circuit for short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the HVAC control module.
    ⇒If the test lamp does illuminate. Test or replace the blower motor..

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
